Hurghada ⇄ Luxor · A private round trip

The best day of your Red Sea holiday is inland.

Staying on the Red Sea, but the temples are calling? Skip the 4am coach, the roadside stops and the forty strangers. We move you door to door for a private round trip of up to 48 hours — your own car and concierge, the car staying with you in Luxor to go wherever your day goes, with hand-picked local food stops along the way. It's the crossing and the car; you pair it with the Luxor experiences you choose.

You are collected on the Red Sea and driven inland in a private, comfortable car. In Luxor the car stays with you — between the temples, the tombs and the river — with hand-picked local food and coffee stops along the way, your concierge reachable throughout, and you return to the coast whenever you're ready, any time within 48 hours. The guided visits and experiences themselves you choose and book alongside it.

The one day you leave the beach.

There is a particular regret that catches Red Sea travellers on the flight home: they spent a week an hour's flight — or a few hours' drive — from the greatest concentration of ancient monuments on earth, and never went. The resorts sell it as a distant, punishing coach excursion: up at four, a car park full of buses, a long ride packed in with strangers, ninety rushed minutes at each site, and back after dark, exhausted. No wonder people skip it.

The crossing, done privately, is a completely different day — and it turns "we should probably go to Luxor" into the day you remember most.

Door to door, on your terms

We collect you from your hotel in a private, air-conditioned car, at a civilised hour, and drive you across the Eastern Desert — a quietly spectacular landscape of mountains and mirage — with cold water, comfortable seats, and stops only where you want them. No waiting for a full bus. No fixed itinerary. Just the open road and Luxor at the end of it.

And when you arrive, the car and your concierge stay with you. This is the crossing and the transport — you pair it with the Luxor experiences you choose, and we arrange each one around your day, with the car waiting between stops so there's real time to stand and take it in, not a stopwatch counting down to the coach.

Everyone on the beach means to go to Luxor one day. The ones who go privately are the ones who actually see it.

A whole civilisation, at your pace

Because Luxor deserves more than a dash, this is a private round trip of up to 48 hours, with the car staying to drive you wherever the day goes. Return to the coast the same evening if you like, or come the night before and stay over for a second day. We handle the car, the driver, the concierge, the food stops and the timing of the drive; you choose the Luxor experiences — the royal tombs, the great temples, a felucca at sunset — and we weave them in. You bring a camera, and we'll give you the Luxor the coaches can only promise.

You came for the Red Sea. You'll go home talking about the day you crossed the desert to stand inside three thousand years.

On the day

What you'll experience

✦

Door to door, not dawn to exhaustion

No 4am coach park, no waiting for stragglers, no fixed route. A private car collects you from your hotel and returns you whenever you're ready — up to 48 hours later — on your schedule, not a bus company's.

❖

The car stays with you in Luxor

Once you arrive, the car is yours — between the Valley of the Kings, Karnak, the river, wherever you choose to go — waiting between stops for up to 48 hours. You pair it with the Luxor experiences you book.

◆

The desert crossing itself

The drive across the Eastern Desert — mountains, mirage and empty road — is its own quiet spectacle, in comfort, with cold water and stops only where you want them.

✧

One round trip, entirely yours

The crossing, the car and your concierge, woven into a single private round trip — and you add the temples and tombs as the Luxor experiences you choose.

The person at the heart of it
The person at the heart of it

What is a Luxor Rising concierge?

Not a guide with a flag and a script. A concierge is one trusted person who understands where you are in your own journey, shares the road with you, and quietly arranges every last detail — the car, the tickets, the right hour, the doors — so all you have to do is be present. You manage nothing. You just flow.

A guide who understands your journey

Someone who listens first — who grasps what this trip really means to you — and then reads three thousand years in a way that speaks to it. Never a memorised tour repeated to everyone.

A companion who shares the road

A real person who knows your name, is on WhatsApp before you arrive and beside you through every day. Someone — never a call centre or a voucher.

Everything arranged, so you just flow

Cars, tickets, timing, translation, the quiet hour ahead of the crowds, and the doors that never open for a coach — all handled invisibly. You never touch a single logistic.

Questions, answered

How much is a private round trip from Hurghada to Luxor, and what's included?+
From €675 for a private, door-to-door round trip — hotel pickup on the Red Sea, a private car and driver both ways that stays with you in Luxor for up to 48 hours, your concierge end to end, and hand-picked local food stops. The monuments and any guiding are the Luxor experiences you choose and book alongside it.
How long is the round trip and how far is the drive?+
Up to 48 hours, so it never has to be a rush — roughly 3.5–4 hours' drive each way across the Eastern Desert, with your time in Luxor in between. Because it's private, we set the pace to you and you return to the coast whenever you're ready; most guests pair it with a Luxor experience or a Design Your Day.
Why is this better than the coach excursions?+
The coach trips mean a pre-dawn pickup, hours waiting for a full bus, a fixed route and a rushed hour or two at each site. Private means door-to-door in your own car, your own concierge, no waiting, and the car staying with you all day — the difference between glimpsing Luxor and actually experiencing it.
Which monuments will we see?+
That's up to you. The crossing brings you to Luxor with the car and concierge; you choose the experiences — the Valley of the Kings, Karnak, a felucca at sunset — and we arrange each one alongside the round trip. Tell us what you most want and we'll build the day around it.
Can we stay overnight in Luxor instead of driving back?+
Absolutely — many guests turn the crossing into an overnight or a two-day stay so they can add a sunrise balloon or a Nile evening. Tell us and we'll arrange the whole thing.
